Why read it?
1 author picked A Rumour of Angels as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
When I first read this book, even though I hold a Ph. D in sociology, it changed my whole view of the discipline.
I was very disappointed in graduate school at first. Then I read some of Peter Berger’s works, who until his recent death, was the most well-known sociologist of religion. He wrote about making the case for a supernatural reality. This was something that was, and, still is, considered heretical in sociology.
I met Peter a few years ago and told him how he changed my view of sociology. He smiled.
